If they quit the are notcelegalble for unemployment when the letter come to you to verify them being furloughed you need to make sure you take the time to fill out every damn one of them saying they walked off the job and were NOT furloughed!! If you don’t take the time to do this they WILL GET the unemployment this is BS and you have to do your part so this does not happen to other business owners!!
But if they quit they don’t get unemployment right?
Wrong the CARES ACT says if the employee is uncomfortable working because of the Covid-virus they qualify for unemployment
It does NOT matter. You can quit and still get benefits!!
